    Yes sir. They were turning them around last night. It was dry once you got out of Rawlins.

    I think any of you that are considering going through wyoming are crazy.

    They can't decide if they're open or closed. ROFL.

    All of you already there, have spent the last 2 days trying to get out.

    I think the reasoning behind them not knowing when they're going to open the road or a closing on and so forth is because of all the idiots in recent history that have caused pile-ups of epic size proportions in this kind of weather when they reopen the roads so I don't blame Wyoming for being hesitant

    The other thing wyoming does do, is open the road and let some traffic through, then close it again, to cause spacing.

    It won't open for a while. And if it does, except some accidents. They'll put the speed limit at 35-45 but coming down Sherman, they were doing well over 55-60 and it was nasty out there.
